Charity comes under fresh scrutiny

Jai makes plans for Nikhil to take over the business if he goes to prison. Soon afterwards, the police arrive to speak to Charity, having received information that she lied in her statement. Jai is in disbelief when Charity says that she suspects Nikhil has dropped her in it.

When DI Fletcher arrives to speak to Cain about the fresh allegations against Charity, Cain backs Charity up - not wanting to make things worse for Sarah and Debbie. At the same time, Jai is furious when Nikhil admits that he did ring the police to report Charity. Jai feels totally betrayed and signs the factory over to Charity instead, should he go to prison.
